When Liu Ming's figure moved and walked out of the unlatched iron door, he looked around and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
He saw that the row of guards that should have been standing stiffly outside the door had all disappeared. What replaced them was a muscular man wearing a yellow beast skin robe and a red faced old man with long and narrow eyes.
One of the two had a black whip around his waist and the other had a light yellow sword on his back. They were currently curiously examining Liu Ming who had just walked out.
"Gold Spirit Guests?"
Although Liu Ming was surprised, he did not reveal too much of a shocked expression. He asked very calmly.
"That's right, the two of us are Gold Spirit Guests. We were patrolling here tonight and didn't think that we would bump into Fellow. This was a really troublesome matter! Dare I ask, what is the relationship between the two of them and Fellow? "The red faced old man sighed and looked at the two people behind Liu Ming.
"Nothing much, it's just that their ancestors once did a favor for my elders. Today, I'm here to repay them." Liu Ming replied calmly.
"Oh, there's actually such a coincidental thing! These two people who are related to Fellow are both being punished at the same time and are being locked up in the same place waiting for Fellow to save them? "The beast skinned man heard this and rolled his eyes as he spoke.
"That's right, this is such a coincidence!" Liu Ming replied without a care.
"Hmph, if the two of us didn't bump into them, even if you saved everyone in the prison, it wouldn't have anything to do with us. But now that we have bumped into them, seeing that we are both people of the same path, according to convention, we can let you take one person away but the other must stay behind. "The red faced old man said seriously.
"No, I want to take both of them away. I won't leave either one behind." Liu Ming replied without hesitation.
"It seems that Fellow is very confident in his strength and is planning on making a move. Let me say this first. Since we are Gold Spirit Guests of the government, we will not fight one on one. If we fight, we will have to team up. "The red faced elder said gloomily.
The beast-skinned man let out a sinister laugh and abruptly grabbed the leather whip at his waist. With a shake of the whip, it actually began to shake its head and tail. It was actually a living, slender, black snake.
Its head was extremely flat, and it was obvious that it was poisoned.
"Hehe, there might not be a need for that." When Liu Ming heard this, he chuckled and took a big step forward. Suddenly, with a "pu" sound, an extremely powerful aura erupted from his body.
Immediately, the nearby void buzzed, and a gust of black wind emerged out of thin air. It swirled around Liu Ming, then turned into a hurricane and rose into the sky.
Seeing this, the red-faced old man and the muscular man in animal skin immediately changed their expressions. Before they could even speak, they felt a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly hit them.
After their bodies shook, they couldn't help but take a few steps back and split to the side, creating a path for Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's figure moved, and he flashed through the middle with the two people behind him. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared behind a courtyard door not far away.
The beast skinned man's two hands tightly grasped the black snake in his hands. His face was full of shock, but he did not make any moves to stop Liu Ming.
The red-faced old man's face was even more nervous. Only after Liu Ming's figure disappeared into the distance did he spit out the words "Late Spirit Apostle".
"Looks like he really is a Late Spirit Apostle. He might even be a Peak Late Spirit Apostle. Otherwise, we two Beginning Spirit Apostles wouldn't have such a weak performance." The muscular man in animal skin let out a long breath as he spoke. With another shake of his wrist, the black snake once again swayed and wrapped around his waist.
"Yes, that is indeed a possibility. No wonder he dared to act so arrogantly and treat us as if we were nothing. This kind of existence is on the same level as the old monsters of the royal family. How could we provoke him? However, with this, we finally have an excuse to explain this matter. If we report it as it is, the higher ups won't blame us. "The red-faced old man said helplessly.
"We can only do that. However, the atmosphere in Xuanjing is becoming more and more strange. First, the group of Gold Spirit Guests with the highest cultivations and the old monsters of the royal family all suddenly announced that they would go into seclusion and not care about the outside world. Then, in the past two years, the number of foreign cultivators that have entered Xuanjing has increased by several times compared to the past few years. Among them, there are quite a few that are acting sneakily. Among them, we know that there are quite a few Peak Spirit Apostles that we met today. As for those that we don't know and those that are hiding their cultivations, we don't know how many there are. Xuanjing wouldn't really have some big trouble, right? "The beast skinned man's eyes flashed a few times as he suddenly lowered his voice and asked a few questions.
"Hmph, you don't even need to say that. I'm afraid that many brothers have already seen that something is wrong. However, existences at the bottom like us don't have the right to discuss this matter. Moreover, when we first joined the Gold Spirit Guests, we signed a blood contract. Before the contract is up, we will not be able to break away from the restrictions of the court. Even if there is a big mess, we can only advance and retreat with the court. "The red faced old man heard this and his face darkened.
"It would be great if it was that simple. The problem is that the government is very strange. Those people from the royal family obviously know something, but they don't tell us low level guests. Although I signed a Blood Contract, I don't want to be used as a sacrificial pawn for no reason. "The beast skinned man said coldly.
"Brother Yan, do you really think this way?" The red-faced old man's face was unsettled as he suddenly asked this question.
"Of course. Although my cultivation is low and I am only an Initial Spirit Apostle, I am a loose cultivator and have suffered a lot to reach this point. How could I be willing to be used as cannon fodder by others? "Hearing this, the beast skinned man hurriedly patted his chest and said.
"Since Brother Zhuang's words are from your heart, I'll give you an address. Three days from now, you can go there. At that time, I'll introduce some like-minded friends to you." The red-faced old man finally made a decision as he spoke.
"Okay, I'll definitely keep the appointment!" Hearing this, the beast skinned man was immediately overjoyed.
Although the red-faced old man's cultivation wasn't as high as his, his network of Gold Spirit Guests was far greater than others. Since he said that he would introduce people to him, it was obviously not a lie.
"Although that person has left, we still need to go in and see if there's anyone missing." The red-faced old man looked at the stairs behind the metal door as he spoke.
"That's natural. I just hope that the person saved the two of them and didn't start a massacre inside." Hearing this, the beast skinned man nodded his head.
Following this, the two of them entered the metal door. After a while, they discovered that there were a few unconscious prisoners inside. Naturally, they were shocked as they hurriedly cast spells to wake them up.
However, these people that had woken up did not remember anything that happened before they fainted.
From the smell of sandalwood that lingered in the prison and the small red dots that were left on the heads of these people, the red-faced old man and the beast skinned man looked at each other and vaguely understood what had happened. They could only bitterly smile.
The person's method of erasing memories was obviously not just a cultivator's method. It was obvious that it was mixed with medicine and some unorthodox techniques of mortals. The complexity of the method was not something that they could understand.
… …
A few hours later, when the sky was just about to brighten.
At the bottom of a small hill beside the official road, a cyan colored carriage was quietly parked there. An old man sat at the front of the carriage and occasionally looked in the direction of Xuanjing. His face showed a hint of anxiety as if he was waiting for someone.
"Uncle Lin, is there still no news of the Immortal Master?" Suddenly, Madam Chen's hopeful voice came from the carriage.
"Madam, don't worry. The Immortal Master is very powerful. How could a mere prison stop him? Right now, the sun has just risen. I believe that not long later, the master will come over to meet with Madam. "Hearing this, Uncle Lin hurriedly replied respectfully.
"I hope so. Uncle Lin, this time, when our Chen Clan was in trouble, only you did not abandon us. When my husband and I settle down in our new home, we will definitely let you enjoy your old age. "Hearing this, Madam Chen said with some regret.
"Madam, you are too polite. If it wasn't for the old master's help, this old servant's life would have been gone decades ago. How could I still be alive today? "Uncle Lin hurriedly said with fear.
"These are two different matters. Uncle Lin, you have been a loyal servant of the Chen Clan for so many years. No matter how great the favor was, it has long been repaid. This favor this time, my husband and I will definitely repay it. "Madam Chen said in disagreement.
"Madam, actually … Eh, there is a carriage coming from the front. The driver seems to be the master." Hearing this, Uncle Lin was about to say something when he suddenly saw a carriage coming from the distant official road. In front of the carriage sat a familiar figure. Immediately, he shouted with joy and surprise.
"What, it really is my husband? I can't be mistaken, right? " The curtain in front of the carriage rolled up and Madam Chen immediately pulled the boy out. Extremely excited, she also looked towards the official road.
"Hehe, Madam Chen, don't worry. It really is Mister Chen."
Just at this time, a man's laughing voice suddenly came from the sky.
Uncle Lin and Madam Chen were shocked and hurriedly looked up. Only then did they see a black cloud slowly descend from the sky. On top of it stood a young scholar. It was Liu Ming himself.
… …
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Ming stood at the top of Hill I. In his hand, he held the horse that Madam Chen had just returned. Looking at the carriage that gradually became a black shadow on the official road, he couldn't help but smile.
He had already sent a message to Martial Uncle Lei. Not long after Censor Chen's family left Xuanjing, there would naturally be someone else coming to receive them. He didn't need to worry about anything else after that.
With this, he had finally completed the task that Martial Uncle Lei had given him. Naturally, he felt a bit more relaxed in his heart.
"Mister Sun, now shouldn't we talk about the big secret that you spoke of?" After Liu Ming withdrew his gaze, he turned around and spoke to a fifty something year old man beside him.
